<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">I’ve been running Champion L87Yc plugs in</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> my 1960 TR3A</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">, gapped to 0.025”</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">.</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">Although they’ve been fine, I’ve always been concerned ab</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">out the amount of soot on them at the end of each driving season. Thinking the soot might be dur to too rich a mixture, I rebuilt my carbs but didn’t notice any change in the amount of soot.</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">It was suggested that I might want to try a hotter plug since that might burn away more of the soot.</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"></font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">According to Champion, the next hotter plug to the L87YC would be</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">the L92YC.</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">What concerns ought I be aware of in running a hotter plug</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">? </font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">Has anyone of the list had experience with L92YC plugs?</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">I researched other plugs that list members are using and found that several have had good success with NGK BP6HS. According to NGK those plugs have been discontinued</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">and the recommended replacement is the BPR6HS</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> (same plug but with a resisitor).</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> I thought I might try a set before moving to a hotter plug. </font></span></p>
